Korean To English Translation – A Short Guide To The Process
If you’re a Korean businessman, you may find the opportunity to expand into some English speaking areas, such as the USA, the United Kingdom, or Australia. If that’s the case you will need to be able to translate Korean to English and vice versa.
There are lots of Korean to English translation services available. One thing that you can do is invest in a Korean English dictionary or use a free translations service on the web. While this is definitely the most affordable way to take it is not always the best way. Depending on the nature of your translation requirements, do-it-yourself translators or free on the web auto translations programs sometimes mis-translate words and the meaning is not properly conveyed.
Often a native speaker will be able to easily identify translations that were done using such a service. If the translation project is of utmost significance to your company and you will need it to be done well in order to be successful, you may desire to consider contracting with a specialized translation service.
The professional translation service should utilize native speakers when possible. This is one of the criteria you should ask for when getting a quote. Most of the professional translation services will offer you with a ‘per word’ quote, varying anywhere from 8 to 12 cents per word. Sometimes you can request a flat rate quote for completion of the whole project, but this is much less common.
Finally, after the translations are done, you may desire to consider having a ‘peer review’ done. This is when you get another set of eyes (if possible by somebody that can speak both languages fluently) just to proofread the work. Many translation companies will not consider reimbursement if it is found that the job wasn’t done well, however, you will know not to use their services going forward and this fact alone may compel them to redo the work and make the needed corrections.
